[sugar] Mini-Conference Proposal: Toolbars & Tabs

[Walter Bender]

Let me ad that these changes are motivated from feedback in the field.
What we are trying to change are precisely the things that people are
finding confusing or difficult. Let me further add that very little
"teacher training" has in fact taken place. What we have instead
concentrated on is working with teachers on how to best leverage to
tool to enhance learning inside and outside of the classroom. The very
features of the new interface are designed to facilitate more
collaboration, which is *the* distinguishing feature of Sugar.
